(A bit delayed, but just for anyone finding this...) No, you cannot remove a FAULTED normal data device - device_removal involves migrating all the data off the old one, which you cannot do if it's not there.
(logs and caches are different.) You'll need to recreate the pool. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906542 Title: echo 1 >> /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_max_missing_tvds says premission error, unable to reapair lost zfs pool data Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: root@jonipekka-desktop:~# echo 1 >> /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_max_missing_tvds -bash: /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_max_missing_tvds: Permission denied root@jonipekka-desktop:~# https://www.delphix.com/blog/openzfs-pool-import-recovery Import with missing top level vdevs The changes to the pool configuration logic have enabled another great improvement: the ability to import a pool with missing or faulted top- level vdevs. Since some data will almost certainly be missing, a pool with missing top-level vdevs can only be imported read-only, and the failmode is set to “continue” (failmode=continue means that when encountering errors the pool will continue running, as opposed to being suspended or panicking). To enable this feature, we’ve added a new global variable: zfs_max_missing_tvds, which defines how many missing top level vdevs we can tolerate before marking a pool as unopenable. It is set to 0 by default, and should be changed to other values only temporarily, while performing an extreme pool recovery. Here as an example we create a pool with two vdevs and write some data to a first dataset; we then add a third vdev and write some data to a second dataset. Finally we physically remove the new vdev (simulating, for instance, a device failure) and try to import the pool using the new feature.
